Jim,
We just received the call that your Dad passed away. Unfortunately, with such short notice, we have other comittments. So sorry as we would have loved to have been there. Bill & I have such fond memories of our many visits to the Cape and blessed with the fact that we were never sent away. Just loved from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Our sympathies.

What can I say except I was deeply sad to hear about Uncle Jim. I have great memories of the Cape and staying with all the Brennan's. We had so much fun! I remember we both loved purple, not that many tough guys love purple, maybe that was for me.

Jim and Sofie

WE always remember our vacations to the Cape and how hospitable Ann and Jim were to all of us. One could always drop in on the Brennan's and
were never turned away. Ann always cooked those great meals and Jim kept us all laughing. Our prayers are with you all and with Ann.

"He left an impression on everyone"- what an understatement!

Jimmy, Sofia, & kids-
We are sorry to hear about Uncle Jim. We have many memories, from the Cape to Florida. He was always very kind to us. I am glad that he & Mary were able to come to Pittsfield for Kevin's graduation.

I am sorry that we cannot be there tomorrow- we don't fly in from California until Friday night. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all.

Do you think he will be the angel in heaven (ha ha) to watch over Aunt Ann now???

Love,
Tiny & Katie

On behalf of all the Kiley family, I wanted to extend our deepest condolences to you on the passing of Jim. We always remember our times on Cape Cod, at our houses in Harwich and at Cockle Cove beach. Jim was such a nice person and he and Anne were very good friends of our parents, Tom and Jackie Kiley. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Susan, Anne, Shelia, Maureen and Kevin Kiley.
